I have had a little look around the forum but nothing has quite answered this for me...
I have been producing for a while and I want to get into DJ a bit, mostly for personal amusement in my room but also with an eye to develop further if get any good.
Firstly, Should I get a CDJ set up or Digital - I don't want to spend alot on intital kit so I have considered a midi mixer (which I may also want to use with my current production set up) with the idea that I could learn CD mixing at a later date when I have decided I enjoy it but I wonder if it would be better to invest in some CDJ's and a mixer now (obviously a lot more cash monies) as I have been told by friends that it would teach me stronger basic skills?
Secondly, what kit would people recommend - I have looked into the Nocturn as it would be a good all rounder (for production/live as well)for me but I have heard that its build isn't great. I also have a friend who uses the BCD3000 and is very happy with it. I haven't looked into CDJ setups much but I guess it would cost a whole lot more so due to the extra cost I would want to buy something that will last like a good Pioneer setup. If I settle for digital I would be happier to buy a cheaper controller as it would also be more likely that I would upgrade later anyway.
I have not considered turntables as of yet as I own a lot of digital and CD releases and the only vinyl I have is old Iron Maiden LPs

I hope this all makes sense, thanks in advance for any help or info offered.
